Same issue here... Fix coming soon?

Layer > Geometry > Separate Curves achieves what you are expecting.

I am not sure why divide doesn't work though.

[Taylor Street]

That worked perfectly @Aammppaa. Thanks for that tip! I'm sure they'll issue a fix for divide at some point.

Odd I couldn't get it to work either well not as before

But on PC I noticed there are icons in the customize toolbar dialog for:
Merge curves | separate curves | Fill Holes | Remove Inner Curves | Cut Curves with key object

i also still use V1 than V2 because i have been using V1 for making a lot icons faster than V2. see the video you will understand

Works for me.

[ahmadfaizshofiyullah]

@Andy900 really? could you send the video sample? and how to use divide tool?

There is another way, as seen in this example:

• After you apply the Add Operation, select one of the outer Nodes
• Then, press Ctrl + A to select all of them that are outside
• And delete them with the Delete key

 

Best regards!

Hi Morax,

Thanks for letting us know. As Aammppaa has said the correct procedure is to use the Separate Curves option, however I'll pass your feedback over to development.

[Affinity Info Bot]

The issue "Divide no longer performs a separate curves action on single objects" (REF: AFD-6176) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.1.0.1742/3".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.

Hi, you broke the tool. I used divide tool to separate different geometry while maintaining their inner parts, like when you have a text in a single curve, you can either separate curves, which makes every letter holes into separate curves, or the divide tool, to separate them, while maintaining the holes. Now both tools do exactly the same thing. Thats not intelligent. I divided it on inkscape to show what I mean, cause it no longer divides as it should

you broke affinity. Before the fix you asked, "divide" separated the object by loose parts, and you'd use separate curves to do just that that you've shown. Now they both do exatly the same
